Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONCERN.
As per your query you got injury to frenulum in mouth which is very common occurrence. A small injury will heal its own and it needs nothing to be done. Avoid touching that area constantly. Don't take alcohol, spicy food for few days as it will exaggerate your symptoms.
Take multivitamin tablet which will fasten its healing. Apply topical corticosteroid ointment on it for few days and it will heal with out any stitches. Apply aloe vera gel with the help of cotton. At times fibrosis occur at that area which cause shortening of tongue which is known as tongue tie. Treatment of tongue tie require proper investigation by your physician.
I would suggest you to visit your physician once if your symptoms not resolving. Avoid oral sex till the time your injury gets healed properly as chances of re injury are there.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
